THE KATANA OR JAPANESE SWORD AND THE BO OR STAFF TRAINING AT TOTAL RYU

TRADITIONAL WEAPONS INSTRUCTION

Traditional weapons instruction is included in every martial arts program at Total Ryu. Whether it is Karate or Jujitsu we include the Bo, Stick, Katana and other traditional weapons instruction.

Bo or the Staff

Bo or the staff is a very traditional weapon.The Total Ryu system for the bo includes several kata or forms, strikes, disarms and takedowns.This is a very fun weapon to learn.The student will increase their body awareness and coordination when learning the bo.

The Sticks

The sticks are a favorite of our students here at Total Ryu.We teach one and two stick use and defense.The instruction is very rhythmic in nature and a students eye to hand coordination will increase drastically when learning this weapon system.We teach a variety of striking patterns and defensive tactics that are useful in todays world.The expandable baton can be a direct correlation to traditional stick work.

The Katana or Japanese Sword

The Katana or Japanese Sword.This is the symbol of the samurai’s skill and status.The kenjitsu (use of the sword in combat) and iajitsu (drawing or deploying stategies of the sword) systems are both taught at Total Ryu. We use a boken or wooden sword for instruction until the student is skilled enough to practice with a real blade.Blocking, striking, movement, drawing and sheathing are just some of the techniques that are taught.The student will also learn combat principles, empty hand against sword defense and much more.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

I think so, everyone can benefit from either jiujitsu or karate training or even both. The problem for most adults is when they think of martial arts training they think of MMA type training or what is showing on TV, they may also think of kids classes and what they have experienced as a child or see their kids do. They associate these pictures with martial arts training for themselves as adults. At Total Ryu we are not like that at all, our adult classes are different from our kids’ classes, and we are not a sport or an MMA school.

You should also understand that Real fighting is not just done on the ground.

Many people will want you to believe that the ground is where you want to go. NO NO NO, never if you can help it. The real world is full of concrete, asphalt, rocks, obstacles, etc. Not to mention that the most dangerous fights have more than one attacker. If you go to the ground, the other guy or guys are going to be doing things to you that you don’t want them to. However, you do need to know what to do on the ground, but in a method that gets you on your feet while taking out the bad guy as quickly as possible. That method of thought is precisely our philosophy on ground fighting at Total Ryu.
